Fancy-Pants hamburger recipe (1955)

Season beef and form into 8 thin hamburger cakes. Place slices of cheese on four of the hamburger cakes. Cover them with the remaining four and pinch the edges together to enclose the cheese completely.

In a skillet, brown the cakes on one side in hot fat. Turn them and pour over them 1 can Hunt’s tomato sauce. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, basting occasionally. Serve piping hot.
